Never Take On More Than You Can Handle

Why should you never take on more than you can handle? If there is
something worth doing then we may as well do it ourselves right? That
rings true in many situations but when it come to building something of
utmost importance then it is critical that we do things in a manner that
will get it done with the results we are after.

Unfortunately its
far to easy to think that we can do it all, this is something that I
dare say most of us can relate to. Biting of
more than we can chew. Thinking that we can do everything that needs to
be done in a short amount of time.

To have a list of
things to do and to think that if we chop and change between tasks, to chip away little by little, we will be able to
accomplish all we set out to do. The reality is that this is very
unlikely to pan out as we planned.

The more we take on the more
snowed under we can feel, we have more thoughts racing through our
minds, more problems can arise that takes more time, energy and
patience to fix, as well as our stress levels sky rocketing. We can get
lost in a sea of ever growing problems and set backs, and we start to
become disillusioned about the whole situation at hand.

Never Take On More Unless You Can Make It Work For You

We need to break things down to there most simplest forms. Start
with the big picture in mind then dissect it into smaller more
manageable blocks.

We need to make a list of the things we need to
complete and rank them on a scale of most important to least important,
what is the most urgent job and what is a job that can wait? We should
make every attempt to only start a new job once the current task has
reached completion.

If it is necessary to get help if and when
required, then we should do so, because as they say "many hands make
light work", and sometimes just a little help is all we need to get us
over the line and keep us moving forward.

If we focus on to
many things at once our ability to to concentrate on the task at hand
diminishes. Focus on what you can do in the moment, get the little
thing out of the way so they don't come back as clutter when you go to tackle the big issues.
